PM Mahathir to write to Jokowi over haze situation

KUALA LUMPUR – Dr Mahathir Mohamad
will be writing the Indonesian President to escalate his concern over cross-border
haze according to Malaysia’s environment minister.

Fires have burnt through parts of
Indonesia’s Sumatra and Borneo islands for more than a month as the Indonesia
government sends thousand of personnel in an attempt to douse the flames as
fire reaches alarming level.

Indonesia’s neighbours are
begining to raise concern about health
and the impact on tourism as fire rage in the country.

The government had also prepared
aircraft for cloud seeding operations in the hopes of further suppressing the
fire.
